Saw that monstrosity outside the staples center two weeks ago when I saw the scorpions.  Figured they'd drive something on it,  didn't think it'd be rally cars though,

I was amazed when I first saw Pastrana backflip a dirt bike over a 50' gap and now we have double backflips, cars and monster truck backflips and Hotwheels loops.Awesome stuff!  :wow:

Wow!  That was really cool!  Would have been neat if they had Hot Wheels style cars doing these jumps!
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

the suspension may have needed to be extra firm for the loop but harsh on the jump the cars to a while to settle  :2thumbs:
